services, repository and dev platform meeting 1 Nov 2005

agenda

• Intro poll:
  • Are you dogfooding the app?
  • Question, problem or issue you want to raise?
• 0.6
  • Prioritize P1 and P2 bugs first -- the priorities are being chosen with care, these are the bugs that are going to end up becoming blockers for the release.
  • 0.6 bug table (assignee/milestone)
  • 0.6 bug table (assignee/priority)
  • communicate with the bug council in the bug: your 2c on whether the change is important is valued by the bug council
• PerformanceProject
• Import/export test review?
• Open positions: apps team developer, QA, ui designer (to help with added scooby design tasks)
• Demos for staff meeting?

notes

• Most folks are not dogfooding the app. If we had an office calendar to subscribe to, that would be a good motivation for people to start dogfooding.
